Deltarune is Toby's dream game and it shows.
It uses the themes and ideas present in Undertale and completely flips them on their head. Well, Undertale was very much about the players affect within the world, this game is about the players affect on the main character.
To experience this game you have to take away Kris's agency and force them to do out of character things. You're the bad guy in Kris's eyes and that's a dynamic I've never really seen explored like this before.
Really excited to see where Toby goes with this.

I'm not really sure where I got the impetus to replay Deltarune from, other than that I wanted a small game I could play over the few days before the release of Persona 3 Reload. I haven't touched Deltarune in two years but I was still able to beat Jevil first try on this playthrough, nice to know I've still got it.
Definitely the weaker of Deltarune's two chapters, but still a lot of fun. Great music, nice character development for Susie, though I think it only really finds its footing after she joins the party properly. Made me remember the release of Chapter 2, back when I still used social media, and all the theories and memes from the fanbase.

Not as good as Undertale but certainly has qualities that work very well. The world is very intriguing, the music is very good and Ralsei is a very likeable and charming, he was easily my favourite part. I'd say I liked Suzie but I was pretty torn on her, I liked what they were going for but it was executed as a typical "bully is mean but they're actually nice when you get to know them", I always appreciate a story like this but I think OMORI did a similar thing better.
Overall, a great RPG but it the writing gets very cliched with one of its primary characters.
